Just think we have Haye, who to be fair is a cut above these guys and likely won't be involved in any fights with them.
But under him we have.
Audley Harrison
Sam Sexton
Tyson Fury
Derek Chisora
Then we have former stalwerts who may carry on in
Matt Skelton
Martin Rogan
Michael Sprott
John McDermott
Add to that a few unbeaten prospects headed in
David Price
Tom Dallas
Richard Towers
and there is likely to be more fun fights in the British heavyweight scene than at a world level imo.
Hey don't forget my boy and the new southern area heavyweight champ, Larry Olubamiwo
Yup, he's still very rough around the edges but just needs to land one punch on any of those names you listed above to put them to sleep..So I'd put his name up simply for that
And don't forget he trains with Freddie Roach now for a few weeks of his camps. (I think Roach is over-rated personally but he's still a world class coach so he can only improve Larry who raves about Roach's coaching ability)
